Do have any examples of positions that that ACLU has fought for that you don't support? For me one example (and I don't know many) is getting a cross off the seal of California. While the cross CAN be a religious symbol, it's also a historic symbol of their missionary past so I have no objections to it. Another is the "one nation, under God" - I'm not sure I care about this as "God" is not the church, man is, and it's man we need to be protected from. As to the "over the top", that's the negotiator in me talking. Usually you have to demand 2 times more than you want to get what you need. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:162183 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
